| 27 weeks 5 days ago | ED: the 22-19 prediction |
was the MSU game. |
| 27 weeks 5 days ago | Brian being sneaky? |
I actually sort of think Brain has been playing games a bit with his predictions this year. He self admittedly hates making predictions but he's now locked into the convention. I think he's being somewhat tounge in cheek sometimes. This prediction is like the exact polar opposite of last years 67-65 score. We win by 2 still but in the lowest possible score (or nearly so). Earlier in the year he had a game prediction of 22-19 (SDSU?). Those numbers are both incredibly rare on their own, let alone together. It's almost as if he was subtly saying "don't take this too seriously." |
| 1 year 4 weeks ago | B1G vs NC Strategy |
I think the OP is making the point that you can have different game/season strategies if you have a B1G focus vs. NC focus. Bo used to do this all the time (or at least was accused of it). For instance, a B1G game late in the season...Bo might play for a tie rather than gamble late knowing that a tie didn't hurt him much in the conference race. However, a tie DID hurt in the polls and, therefore, the NC hunt. Since we don't have ties anymore, i think the new "confernce focus" strategy could be a late season game in which your team already has a B1G Champ. birth sewn up, and you play all your scrubs to save them....thus enhancing your conference championship hopes (in theory) but hurting your NC hopes. Ergo, i understand the point...in thoery. However, that point seems sort of silly in this day and age. I think everyone and anyone is trying to win each and every game with maximum effort. Nobody is "giving away" games anymore or holding too much back. |
| 1 year 4 weeks ago | Second chance? Not yet |
Perhaps someday Rose will earn a second chance...but you really have to earn that. Mike Vick paid his dues, has been contrite, and (so far) done all the right things. Not sure that i personally forgive him but the point is that you have to earn your second chances...have to seem worthy of being forgiven...and usually that requires the perspective of time and change of actions. I'm with the OP. I'm done with Rose....at least for now. |

1. 1984: Tigers Win World Series - Gibby, baby 2. 1991: "The Catch" - Desmond vs. ND - sat in row 1 right in that corner 3. 1987/88: Hall of Fame Bowl - Jamie Morris Last Gave 4. 1997: UM-ND Football - National Championship Season - all the action in my endzone 5. 1999: Augusta National - Awe inspiring (unfortuately only a practice round, but still) 6. 1985: UM beats OSU - lights fading, Kolesar 4th quarter bomb, i was a student 7. 2007?: Tigers at Braves - my son's first live ball game, verlander unhittable 8. 1978: Red Wings vs. Canadians Playoffs - old Olympia, lost badly, met Gordie Howe 9. 2007: Patriots in Miami - Brady's perfect half, 11-11 with 5 TDs, perfect passer rating, year he threw for 50+ and went 18-1. |

I was a junior too. I still feel like this was one of Bo's best teams. We were absolutely rolling with JH and the boys until Mr. Fogey came to town on a gray, rainy day late in the season. My memory from that New Year's day was that ASU's D-Line just dominated. Also, this chant from our fans: "A-S-U...A-S-Who? A-S-Holes!" |
| 1 year 8 weeks ago | The upside of the love fest |
You are right about the 180, and it is very annoying. But I'm at the point where I'm past it and I'm trying to just roll with it. Regardless of the motivation or the realities versus perception, to the outside world (read: recruits) it only helps to be getting all this positive press. |
| 1 year 9 weeks ago | A few points of interest |
You really can't (and shouldn't) read too much into the player comments...but was interesting to hear the focus on "intensity" and the players being excited for practice "which is a first." Eh, what else are they supposed to say...

Just sayin'... |
| 1 year 9 weeks ago | Teams Sucking |
I had that same thought - everyone but us "sucking" right now. But you never know by 2013. At times in the recent past, OSU / MSU / MINN /WISC have all been good (at points). Also, i wonder if the lure of the Big Ten brand and the TV exposure (from the BTN) means that over time all 6 schools will be getting better recruits, etc. and have a better platform to succeed.
